I read an SF book in the mid 1960's that was so disturbing that I just couldn't finish it. It was about a group who had landed on a planet or moon with a 'Waystation'. Clearly there had been prior visitors who had met an horrific end. They were all being stalked by, I believe, 'slimy silver pigs' who lurked in the hills or gulleys surrounding the Waystation, but were coming ever closer and hunting them down. It was really an SF horror story. I passed the book onto someone else, who also found it too disturbing & also passed it on. I would add that I am NOT an easily disturbed person. Forty years on I would dearly like to read the book again, but cannot recall the title. I have tried the novel 'Waystation' by J McDonald & it wasn't that one. Neither do I believe it is the Waystation written by Clifford Simak.
Can anyone help me out with the title? - if you can then I would be VERY pleased to hear from you. Definitely a very frightening book, and I read all the Dennis Wheatley black magic & Satanism novels as an 11/12 year old and did not find them at all disturbing - 10 years afterwards as an adult this Waystaton book really gave me a difficult time, so I'd like to complete the challenge now & finish it.
